Manuel, thanks a bunch ! You saved me a lot of time.
So yes indeed the name changed (I still don't know how you figured out 
that).

Anyway after compilation the screen was still black with the message: 
"Cannot Display This Video Mode". This has nothing to do with fglrx, but 
since I found the solution I thought it might help others:

Indeed I had wrong freqencies, copying the one from /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
into xorg.conf did the trick.
